Quotes by William Wordsworth
Faith is a passionate intuition.
~William Wordsworth~
Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.
~William Wordsworth~
How does the Meadow flower its bloom unfold?
Because the lovely little flower is free down to its root,
and in that freedom bold.
~William Wordsworth~
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting;
The soul that rises with us, our life's star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar;
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come from God,
who is our home.
~William Wordsworth~
The best portion of a good man's life is his little,
nameless unremembered acts of kindness and of love.

'Tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes!
~William Wordsworth~

Than when we soar.
~William Wordsworth~
What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be not forever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
Strength in what remains behind,
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be,
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of Human suffering,
In the faith that looks through death
In years that bring philophic mind.
~William Wordsworth~
She was a phantom of delight
When first she gleam'd upon my sight;
A lovely apparition, sent
To be a moment's ornament.
~William Wordsworth~
Come into the light of things.
Let nature be your teacher.
~William Wordsworth~

~William Wordsworth~
Life is divided into three terms --
that which was, which is, and which will be.
Let us learn from the past to profit by the present,
and from the present to live better in the future.
~William Wordsworth~
The flower that smells the sweetest is shy and lowly.
~William Wordsworth~
What we need is not the will to believe,
but the wish to find out.
~William Wordsworth~
Whether we be young or old,
Our destiny, our being's heart and home,
Is with infinitude, and only there;
With hope it is, hope that can never die,
Effort and expectation, and desire,
And something evermore about to be.
~William Wordsworth~
With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony,
and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.
~William Wordsworth~
A host of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
~William Wordsworth~
Bright flowers, whose home is everywhere
Bold in maternal nature's care
And all the long year through the heir
Of joy and sorrow,
Me thinks that there abides in thee
Some concord with humanity,
Given to no other flower I see
The forest through.
~William Wordsworth~ about daisies
Nature never did betray
The heart that loved her.
~William Wordsworth~
